MARCH 28, 2022 - Star Trek: Picard is back this Thursday with the latest episode “Fly Me to the Moon”.

This week: “Picard discovers an important person from his past may be integral to the divergence in the timeline. Q continues his manipulation of the timeline, taking an interest in Dr. Adam Soong. Seven and Raffi attempt a daring rescue of Rios, while Jurati faces the consequences of her deal with the Borg Queen.”

“Fly me to the Moon” will showcase some major talent this week on Picard. We’ll see recurring actors Isa Briones, Brent Spiner, and Orla Brady. 

Back to the Future actor Lea Thompson managed to find some screen time in this week’s episode after her recent tour of duty directing the previous two episodes, “Assimilation” and “Watcher”. Thompson’s appearance in the episode was not previously announced, a fact pointed out by Trek Central on Twitter shortly after the images were released for “Fly Me to the Moon”.

Along with the new images, we also have a short clip which debuted last week on The Ready Room. “Fly Me to the Moon” was written by series producer Cindy Appel, with direction from Jonathan Frakes. Catch the episode on Paramount+, beginning March 31st.
